Try Hard

She’s dropping out of school cause
she don’t need the grade,
The colors in her hair don’t seem to
fade,
I get dressed up when I go out but
she gets dressed down
She’s 17 I’ve told her I’m 20,
I couldn’t take her out cause Mom’s
got no money,
It’s stuff like this that makes me
wish that I could change somehow
Sitting here at home, it’s obvious

[Chorus]
She’s so out of reach, and I’m
finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying
too hard,
Cause I’m not being me, and it’s
getting me down
She makes me think, makes me
think,
That I try, that I try, that I’m trying
too hard again
Cause I’m trying too hard again
She’s got a rude tattoo but she
keeps it covered,
I play guitar but she’s into
drummers,
She’s seen my face around but she
doesn’t even know my name
I pierced my lip so she thinks I’m
cool,
I ripped my jeans and I dropped
out of school,
I followed her around the town but
she thinks that I’m a weirdo now
Sitting here at home, it’s obvious

[Chorus]
She’s so out of reach, and I’m
finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying
too hard,
Cause I’m not being me, and it’s
getting me down
She makes me think, makes me
think,
That I try, that I try, that I’m trying
too hard again
Cause I’m trying too hard again
But now, who knew?
She’s in the crowd of my show
Nothing to lose,
She’s standing right in the front
row
The perfect view,
She came along after all,
But here’s something that you
should know
You’re so out of reach, and I’m
finding it hard cause
You make me feel, make me feel,
Yeah she makes me feel, makes me
feel
It’s obvious

[Chorus]
She’s so out of reach, and I’m
finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying
too hard,
Cause I’m not being me, and it’s
getting me down
She makes me think, makes me
think,
That I try, that I try, that I’m trying
too hard again
Cause I’m trying too hard again
